Will my fellowship or grant be considered taxable income?

AAUW fellowships or grants may be considered taxable income under U.S. tax law, depending on how the funds are used. For example, amounts used for tuition and required fees may be non-taxable, while funds used for living expenses are generally considered taxable.

AAUW does not provide tax advice and does not withhold taxes from U.S. persons. However, tax withholding may apply to recipients of the International Fellowships. For more information, please refer to the Taxes section on the International Fellowships pages.
